- Designing An Off-Grid Debt Free Earthbag Home
Our off-grid earthbag home plans are finally revealed. The design and planning stage of our house took awhile, as it probably should, and went through many changes. We finally feel like we have something that's efficient and something we'll enjoy. Check it out and let us know what you think. Plans subject to change. ;)

We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who decided to make the leap from living the city life to an off-grid homestead. We have no training in carpentry or electrical work. We've come armed only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.
Join us on our journey to move beyond a sustainable lifestyle into a regenerative one. We chose to live in the desert because we love the location and we wanted the challenge of bringing this desert landscape into productive abundance.

You both are phonies. All about that you tube money. Your food growing is a failure and scam
Hahahaha Yep. This is a great series. Glad I found it. Thanks.
😂 Best ending ever. This was neat to see how it is being planned and laid out. It all makes a lot more sense now. It was cool to see the gothic shape of them in the artwork and clay sculpture.
Thank you! It took a lot of slaps to get that right.😆
@@ourselfreliantlife LOL
oh my goodness that intro, I was dying!!! The smile on Jess' face when she talks about the house, I can see how excited you guys are for this and I am happy to be following along with you guys! I'm totally going to cry when it's done!!
Thank you Krissy! This build is going to be our biggest challenge yet.
Thanks for sticking through the childish humor. 😆
Green Dream Project I love the humor!!!
Such a detailed sketch of your home is incredible. I pray all goes well and God speed to you both.
Thank you so much Judy!!
Fun video, my only suggestion would be to make sure you have multiple locations of egress in each dome and really good ventilation systems. Have your soil and underground tested for radon and invest heavily in insulation, condensation is your enemy.
Your home is going to be a DREAM! I'm seeing so many cool things on the drawings! water storage bench, the upcoming rocket stove, grow benches... I love how you guys even included a Crew Bed:)) I think I'm most excited about how you're going to do the plumbing for the bathroom and the artistic take you'll add to the whole build.
We have to have a Crew bed.😆 We're super excited too. It will be a lot of work, but we can't wait.
I love how you teased the House drawing bit by bit. I really like the design, can't wait to see it done!
Leslie Neilsen : "Everything I see reminds me of her......" As for Jessica's build; "How can you teach children how to read if they can't even fit inside the building?!" ....it's going to be epic, great work guys
Thank you! Love the movie quotes. 😁👍
Jessica your artistic talents are amazing...
Maybe when your projects slow down
You can make a side business
Bringing people's dreams to life..
Seeing your drawings of the maybe finished domes
and model
Really gives us a better prospective of your dreams
thanks for taking the time to share
Thank you Jim!
As fast as Jessica built the model...
If she was like 50 ft tall for a while
Would make the build go really fast...
and would be really fun watching her chase Jim around.. and messing with him.
There's always time to dance..
What's the purpose of life if you can't enjoy it.
Absolutely Jim!
Absolutamente..
Wow, guys this looks awesome! I love the painting of your future home, really beautiful! I especially like the courtyard outdoor area your planing.🌱😊 Your home is going to be so amazing! 💚💚💚
Thank you Yvonne! It seems so close, but so far away yet.😁
Going to be awesome! We love the potential exterior surface design of the domes. Sleeping underground? That's something I can do without, but to each his own. Very excited to see this develop. Congratulations on the ground breaking 👍👍
Thanks Bill! Definitely a lot of possibilities.
Sleeping underground, it's the best sleep ever.😁
This is so exciting! Thanks for sharing your drawings and models, it really gives a good visual of where you're heading. It's going to be so cool!
Thank you Lynette! We're about to get dirty out here.😆
I'm watching this a few days after 2021's xmas. You guys just finished the first dome earthbag and outter cob work. You also have a fully functioning water collecting system. It took you 21 months while attending a million other stuff and proyects, that is a great time for just two builders that are also working on so many other things at the same time.
I'm so glad for both of you, I remembered this video and came watch it again just to have perspective of what you managed to achieved.
😂 Intro/finale was hilarious. I'm so happy for you guys! This home is going to be amazing, especially with the artistic touches from Jessica.
Thank you Micah!
Holy smokes, This is really real now!
Watching your dream unfold in real time and in real life is wonderful to watch, I'm envious to say the least👍
Thanks for sharing and as always keep building👍
Thank you Todd! It's getting more real for us everyday. 😁
This channel is something (earth bag building) I’ve always been interested in. I’m looking forward to watching all of your episodes.
I understand your desire to come out the other side of this build “debt free”, I personally (and you obviously have a differing view point) think some debt is not a bad thing.
Anyway, good luck to you two, keep posting and I will keep watching.
Thank you!!
I like your plans. You are setting a great example for thousands of people that are going to live just like you.
Thank you so much for that!
It’s so nice getting to know you two and your dog. Love the journey your on!
Thank you!!
Makes sense to me now that I was able to see your overall plans. I had thought that the 1 Dome would not be big enough for a family. But now I know that you are building not just the 1 Dome but 2 Domes. And that Hand Drawn painting illustraition of the finished home looks very nice and appealing. I have been following you for about 6 months maybe, and ill surely stick around and watch every new video that you make. Great Job, and I would like to have one of those Paintings that Jessica creates. All my passed Animal Family that I have lost through the years, all sitting together across the rainbow bridge waiting for me to come and see them when my time is up..Much Love....
I think that would be cool to be part of something like that. More power to you both too many people these days are afraid to get their hands dirty.
Thank you! We're actually looking forward to it.😃
If you have access to Caliche in your area it might be good to add to your earth bags..
Or in your projects..
maybe
Great video guys. Awesome layout Jessica! I love watching you guys. Can't wait to see the final product.
😃Thank you very much!!
IT'S HAPPENING! Love the artist's renditions! I can't wait to see the finished product (and all the digging leading to it).
😃Thank you!
Jess enjoyed that slapping *WAY* too much!
Haha yes the sketch looks very similar to something else! 🤔🤣 I love your plans they are beautiful!!!
I'm so so happy for y'all! I can't wait to see all of your visions come to life! Maybe we can learn a few things here as we've been wanting to build an Earth bag home for a few years now. I can't find a contractor that wants to work on anything alternative around here 😂 Wishing you both so many more blessings to come, take call y'all ♥️🙏
Thank you Debbie! Usually you can't find contractors to build this way, and if you can they're usually pretty expensive. 😬
You guys rock! I really love the design and your new water storage. It’s gonna be great watching your progress.
Thank you Jan!
Wow wow I just love your design ... Cant wait to start seeing it come together . So Excited for you BOTH.
Thank you so much Shari!
Jim & Jessica - What is going to be on the surface of the domes? It looks very sculptural. You're going to be living in an absolute work of art! You two crack me up!
😀Thank you! It will be kind of sculptural and practical too. We'll be using a mix of plaster and rocks.
LOL The opening sequence rocked.
Really looking forward to seeing your home done it sounds amazing takecare and keep safe
Jim's like Ralphie with the Leg Lamp. Too funny! The design is amazing, and I can't wait to watch the progress. Go, GDP!!
😃Thank you so much Lori!
Wow that actually looks really cool I’m so looking forward to you guys building this. Thank you for sharing

A lot of work ahead you, and a lot of work already behind you. Those designs are amazing, You know I will be following along.
Thanks Joey! Man, I still can't even wrap my head around just how much work this is going to be.😬
@@ourselfreliantlife I understand but I also know you got it covered. You and Jessica have done your homework. along with those plans and models you guys made up you are going to make it look so easy. I think you are prepared.
Take it easy y'all. It's going to be awesome 👍
Thanks James!
Love your plan. ❤️
Another inspiring video with a little comedy! I Love it!
😃Thank you!
This was cool , well done.
Cool looking domes,excited to watch it progress.I like the shipping container homes people build too.😀
Thanks Elf! Those homes are cool, but they ain't dirt cheap.😉👍
I didn't get the intro at first, then I LMAO!
I been watching for a while and always wondered how your plans were for the inside and this video came up in my feed lol
Soooo coool !!!
And love the ending lol too funny!
The profile of your bullet shaped dome reminds me of a yakhchal, the yakhchal is supposed to be an ancient Persian cooler from around 400 BC
Awesome 👍
So looking forward to this build! Maybe I'll get some ideas from you guys to use over at my parents dome. Slapped the thumbs up 😄
Lol! The things I do to make a video.🙄🤣
Very kool house plans.........
Hilarious opening, Jim. I nearly peed. Lol. Good job on the model, Jessica. Good video.
😃Thank you so much! We had to have a little fun here.😁
how exciting!! Seriously cannot wait to see it!!
Thank you!! So close to putting some dirt into bags.😃
Amazing love how fun and entertaining your channel is
Thank you!!
Like👍 after the intro
Hi you two. When it comes to Heating and AC look into ductless mini splits. The 21 seer rating 1 ton units can heat and cool up to 500 square feet. But size it at 400 square feet to be sure you have enough. These thins run on less than 4 amps and only need 120 volts. Solar panels and batteries can handle them at full blast they take 460 watts for 12,000 BTU which is one ton. The heatpump heats and cools. They work as cold as -15 degrees below zero.
loving your house design. Jim, you are so not alone.lol. LYMI
😃Thanks Mack!
How exciting!! I bet you cant wait to get started!
Definitely! Thanks Annmarie!
Sweet , cant wait
Thanks Giles!
You all crack me up. I love it.
😃Thank you Reba!
Great video! Very excited!
Thank you!!
cool plans! I like em! can't wait to see the project develop!
Thank you Paul!!
This is both so exciting and so emotional!! Gorgeous mock-up! LOL shoo him away Jessica haha 💗💞🌺🌟💫
I think her shooing was pretty effective.😆
Thanks Michele!
@@ourselfreliantlife LOL!

Thank you very much!!😃
